First: this project is made for my personal needs, then I decide to publish it because I think some people may need it. This is not a tool for pirating. It’s good or bad depend on how you use it. Please don’t make me look bad because of this.

This is the official page of APK Downloader. Do not download the extension from other sources.

Use at your own risk. I’ll not take responsibility for anything happen to you or your account.

APK Downloader is a Google Chrome extension that allows you to download Android APK files from Android Market to your PC

After installed APK Downloader, you’ll need to follow these steps in able to use it

I. Enter email and device ID on Options page

1. There are two ways to get Email and Device ID

a. Easy way: install this Device ID app, it will show you your emails and Device ID

b. Difficult way: Open dial pad, call *#*#8255#*#* ( 8255 = TALK ). If it opens “GTalk Service Monitor”, find lines that begin with JID and Device ID. Your email is JID, and your device id is a string that after android- prefix

For example: if it shows android-1234567890abcdef , then your device ID is 1234567890abcdef

Do not type in random email or device ID, it won’t work

2. Enter your email’s password, then press Login. If everything is ok, now you can use APK Downloader

III. Start using

After finished two steps above, you can start using APK Downloader. Open Android Market, view any FREE apps ( for example: Simple Text ), then press the APK Downloader icon on address bar ( see screenshot )

IV. FAQs:

Is is against Android Market’s ToS?– I’m afraid that it is. Please read Section 3.3for more information. So again, you at your own risk.

Where is the Options page?
– Click on the Wrench icon on the toolbar, go to Tools -> Extensions. Find APK Downloader. At the end of its description, you’ll see a link to Options page.

Why do I have to enter my email, password and device ID? Does it store or send my password to another place?
– The extension only stores email, device id and Android Market cookie in Chrome local storage, on your computer. To be able to get Android Market cookie, it needs your email and password to login at https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin . After it’s done, password is not stored, email is stored to display on Options page, Device ID and Cookie are stored for later requests. I do not send those information to another sites.

Why don’t you just put one account in the extension, so we don’t have to use our information ?– That’s good for users, but not for developers like us. For example, when 1000 users download same app, it only counts 1.

Again, do you collect our information?

– I don’t want to get into trouble by collecting users information, so I try not to have it in any way. The only thing I’m collecting is which apps are downloaded by users. You can view the source code to make sure about this.

Can it download paid apps?

– No, of course not, unless you purchased it with your logged account before. Please remember this isn’t a tool for pirating.

Why do you make this extension?– I’m an Android developer. While working on my new project, I have to decompile some apps on Android Market. Everytime I want to decompile one, I have to download it to my phone, use Astro to backup it to SDCard, connect phone to PC, then copy the apk file. That’s a really long and painful to me, because I have to do it over and over again. That’s why I come up with this idea.

V. Changelogs:

1.4.3: 07/16/2013

Supports new Google Play layout. Note: if you have problems, switch toEnglish language

1.4.2: 03/04/2013

This version is made by Stephan Schmitz, Peter Wu from this repository. Big thanks to them. I’m planning adding more features in the future.

It locks up any market page when the extension is activated. Only way to get to any new page in the browser is to deactivate the extension. Might be a Chrome version issue. I’m using the portable version.

I’m also having the same problem in Chromium 16.0.912.77 on Linux. If I enable this extension (even when it’s the only extension enabled), Chromium will no longer load any webpage. The extension seems really awesome. I was looking forward to using it.

Just found out that the use of this extension is against the Market’s ToS – proceed at your own risk. The clause it violates is:

3.3 You agree not to access (or attempt to access) the Market by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Google, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Google. You specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) the Market through any automated means (including use of scripts, crawlers or similar technologies from time to time) and shall ensure that you comply with the instructions set out in any robots.txt file present on the Market website.

I have multi user profiles in Chrome. I have placed shortcut to my profile in the Quick Launch. When i right click on the QL shortcut, this is how i see in the Target field of Chrome Properties.”C:Documents and SettingsSabeenaLocal SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe”I just pasted –ignore-certificate-error at the end and now it looks like this”C:Documents and SettingsSabeenaLocal SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe” –ignore-certificate-error But still i am getting the warning box.Any suggestions?

Okay, it took a little bit of work to get this to work, but it does now.

I’m on 64-bit Ubuntu Linux. So, in reading the instructions, I went and downloaded chrome( http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_beta.html?dl=beta_amd64_deb ) Beta build. Dev build should work, but betas tend to be more stable, correct?
I accepted the agreement, downloaded, installed, etc.

After this, I had to create a shortcut to my desktop. Open the browser, click the “new tab” page, and right-click one of the applications. I used “Google Search”. Right click, “Create Shortcut”, place on desktop. Go to this shortcut you just placed on the desktop, and right click, “properties”, this is where it was a bit odd, the instructions say “Below instruction is for Windows users. For OS X and Linux users, please read this post ( replace –remote-debugging-port=9222 in the example with –ignore-certificate-errors )”
This was not true in my case. I, instead, had to use –ignore-certificate-errors INSTEAD of –remote-debugging-port=9222.

Why?
“- The extension only stores email, device id and Android Market cookie in Chrome local storage, on your computer. To be able to get Android Market cookie, it needs your email and password to login at https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin . After it’s done, password is not stored, email is stored to display on Options page, Device ID and Cookie are stored for later requests. I do not send those information to another sites.”
What’s the device ID?
“There are two ways to get Email and Device ID

a. Easy way: install this Device ID app, it will show you your emails and Device ID

b. Difficult way: Open dial pad, call *#*#8255#*#* ( 8255 = TALK ). If it opens “GTalk Service Monitor”, find lines that begin with JID and Device ID. Your email is JID, and your device id is a string that after android- prefix

For example: if it shows android-1234567890abcdef , then your device ID is 1234567890abcdef

Thank you for this. I downloaded Need For Speed Shift on my Galaxy Nexus. I had already purchased it because it said it wan’t available on Verizon. Not sure why they would do that but thanks again for making it possible for me to use content I own.

Thanks for the awesome tool!
I was greatly saddened when you took it down due to piracy concerns (for me, it wouldn’t download paid apps I hadn’t paid for) but the new version will work just perfect for me. I reposted about it at http://opensourcebb.com/2012/02/download-android-apps-directly-to-your-pc-for-sideloading/, I hope that’s ok (I gave you full credit of course).

Hi, I’ve got a “non-phone” (wifi) Android tablet, as best that I can determine, my device ID is all zeros, 16 of them. Apparently AM doesn’t like like about my tablet either.
Any suggestions, I’m looking to get a free ereader app (Blio, a copy came with my laptop, and looking to get it for my tab) and AM is the only place that has it.
I can’t use your Device ID app because it’s in AM and I can’t get anything from AM. i get an error (says SSL or dev id). I got the shortcut “deal” working fine (in options) no more warning there.

Hey dude, i’m really appreciate that you reactivate it again .. i was very happy to see the news of your extension launch .. cuz i can’t access download app from android market .. it’s not available for my country. It’s too bad. I’m really appreciate your work .. Thanks a lot ..

If I dont have an Android device but still if I need just the .apk file, so that I can use that on my emulator (not sure of the term) BlueStacks to run them on my desktop, how should I work with this extension?

Why does this not work for me? Windows 7, Chrome 17. Went into properties and changed the end of target to –ignore-certificate-errors. I restarted chrome and I still get the red bar saying change SSL errors….so I created another chrome shortcut, and same thing…..then I created another chrome shortcut and added –remote-debugging-port=9222, and that didn’t work either….What am i doing wrong?

i tried to put the code into terminal on a mac but the result was this:
Feb 28 16:50:44 Mohammads-MacBook.local Google Chrome Helper[1108] : CGSLookupServerRootPort: Failed to look up the port for “com.apple.windowserver.active” (1100)
and its not working

As people have pointed out, this doesn’t work on paid apps you have purchased (apps you own). I’d love to use this to push apps I’ve paid for to devices they don’t officially support. If you could fix that you and I will be best friends forever. Thanks for this, though. It’s a great start.

Quit chrome
open terminal
past this
open -a /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome –args –ignore-certificate-errors
I had the same problem as you, I had to re do everything again , and it woked

So for Mac OS X Snow Leopard, using Google Chrome App, I type this into the Terminal correct?

/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome –ignore-certificate-errorsI was supposed to replace the “remote-debugging port thingy”, with the ignore certificates corrects? That’s what I got from your directions. BUt I guess using tardcabulary, I’m a “newb” to this stuff. But it will help my current predicament not being able to access the market. And I really want to thank you for building something this, and most of all for being selfless and sharing it! Well, the paranoid person in me is still a tad worried about sharing my device ID and Google account info., but I’m trying to be optimistic and I haven’t seen any bad reports yet. Yet it could just be too early, haha, just kidding! But if you can help me out with my question I would very much appreciate, thank you in advance. p.s. Sorry bout the bold, that “ignore certificate errors” I copied and pasted was in bold and I copied and pasted from my text edit and it made the rest of my text bold.

Sorry, it didn’t work. when i download an app, it tells me that i haven’t disabled the ssl,( i do exactly what you said) ,or recheck my device id and account information, however, there is no problems with these information.

Is it possible to purchase apps that arent compatible with your device? like for example i have a lenovo thinkpad tablet and the market wont allow me to buy quill app i was wondering if i could use this to buy it is it possible?

Yes, as JimmyD said, it would be incredible if we would be able to purchase and download apps via your extension! I would love to be able to buy games the market does not officially list as compatible!

when in properties of the chrome shortcut, after adding the –ingnore-certificate-errors line when i hit ok i get a message that i have wrong path and that i have to correct it, thus not being able to disable the certificate errors, any workaround?

I have a Question!
I don’t Want use my current account and then create a new account in google and login with that to market! (or google play) then use that account for downloading apks from GPlay and don’t worked 🙁
is there any chance?

Same problem. I just switched to another, more powerful device, and Gameloft for some reason marks some of its games not compatible, which is obviously bogus.. I purchased them, but now I can’t retrieve them even with this nice extension. Any help? update?

but actually I t should look like this ,, the additional –ignore-certificate-errors should come after the quotation mark
just like this
“C:Program FilesGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe” –ignore-certificate-errors

is anyone else finding certain aps when they attempt to download come back with a 403 – forbidden error? For example i’m trying to download the Capital one uk app, and also the itv player, both are free apps and both give a 403?

I think that your device is not compatible ,,, that way I suggested the following :

guys I’m using this extension

but the bad thing is I can’t download apps unless there are
compatible with my device ,,, and it can recognize my device via device
Id

so my suggestion , is we post our device name and device Id , so If
anyone wants to download an app that is not compatible with his/her
device ,, he can change the device Id from the list that we shared

but the bad thing is I can’t download apps unless there are compatible with my device ,,, and it can recognize my device via device Id

so my suggestion , is we post our device name and device Id , so If anyone wants to download an app that is not compatible with his/her device ,, he can change the device Id from the list that we shared

I had the same problem many users described below. I kept getting an error message that either my login, device id, or ssl warnings were incorrect, Closing and reopening chrome didn’t help. Then I noticed that even when I close all the chrome windows the extensions still show up as processes in task manager. I killed all chrome* tasks and when I restarted chrome everything worked as advertised. A Great App!

it’s not the shortcut that is the error but when you click the green android symbol to download, a popup says ssl error/device id or login error. Shortcut works fine.LIKE Bertt’s says,Shortcut works fine, same problem, redphx do you check again works fine? thx~

I’m facing same problem like Jeremiah & BRETT and many more,, I just need one apk file MHT Viewer from market.. if you can solve the Error problem or can u or can anybody here, download the apk file for MHT Viewer from market & mail me to [email protected]?? it will be gr8 help.. waiting for reply… thank you…

Same Problem here. Trying to download an app gives SSL warning.
Clean install of chrome on fresh win installation, shortcut copied from another win installation where it worked before, so mistypings in the shortcut are impossible.
So, what to do? Can we users provide some kind of log or similar to help you to isolate the problem?

BTW: the “–” in your text don’t work, they are other strokes than the ones on the keyboard. Initally I had to replace them to make APK Downloader work.

Any chance of getting some kind of respnse? Seems to be a hit or miss program. We are all getting the popup error of SSL error, Device ID or login. All settings are correct, we just get the popup error when we hit the little green android button to download.

Thank you very much, your software is very practical.If you can develop a synchronous play.google.com functions, it would be more perfect.Because I want to get to know what software is updated!Thank you!Like the simulation of a mobile version GooglePlay.Soon be able to know what software is need to be updated!

on a mac:
* install the extension and enter your email/password/android id
* close the browser window and make sure Chrome is closed completely* open terminal* type: open /Applications/Google Chrome.app –arg –ignore-certificate-errors
* this will open chrome with SSL error warnings disabled
* go to google play and when you’re on a FREE app page you’ll see the green APK downloader in your address bar

One suggestion/feature request:
Some way to be able to switch between devices quicker than manually going in and typing the device ID all the time.
I have several android devices, running many different ROMs and some apps are compatible but others are not and I find myself switching often.

hey man gr8 work with this chrome extension … but i have one problem with it .. i was able to dowload the apk files till yesterday with this extension… but today the page of google play shows my phone registered and apps dont install through the extension but it shows a window directly in the same page for installing on the mobile … do the google ppl have found the way to disable the extension or is anything i need to do to continue downloading the apk files with the extension

I have installed the downloader extension and it appear in the ggggle Tools – extension page as having been installed.
The SSL ignore certificate errors is also working – no problem there.

BUT when I go to google play and try to download the app the file the ICON does not appear in the address bar bar and I get to the INSTALL window for the app. Then when I click it it says instaaling and then the file will be sent to your device later. Nothing happens afterwards

The problem is how to get the ICON in the address filed of the Chrome.

Many thanks for your reply and look forward to getting a solution. Thank you

Okay people, according to what I have noticed, following things need to be checked for proper functionality:

1) Check regularly that the ”
–ignore-certificate-errors ” is added in the target location, because it tends to get removed automatically after sometime.
2) Run Chrome browser only from the shortcut where You have added the text, and don’t run any other instance of chrome at the same time, as it overrides the ssl code.
3) For those who are getting wrong email or password, check the device id properly, and follow the above two steps.

I find a solution for the problem of SLS certificate error: first I log-out of the play.google.com site. Then I log-out from the apk-downloader settings and then I relogon from the apk-downloader settings. All work ok now!

If you get the “error parsing package”, that means that your phone cannot use that app or file.

If you don’t see the little Android icon IN YOUR ADDRESS / URL BAR, then restart Chrome.

Make sure that you add a shortcut to Chrome like this on your desktop:
C:UsersYOUR_USERNAMEAppDataLocalGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe –ignore-certificate-errors

If you encounter the “forbidden error 403”, just close the tab, and click the android icon again.
This happened to me a few times. But just closing the tab, and clicking to install again fixed it for me.

If you are having trouble disabling SSL, re-read this section: I: Disable SSL error warnings
It explains how to do so.

A little tip: If you create ONE shortcut with the “–ignore-certificate-errors”, I notice that it affects
all Chrome shortcuts. Granted that you can only download with the one that actually has the
line added. Still a little crazy. However, I’m still using it. Thanks man.

Nevertheless, though it worked fine for some weeks, I updated the Chrome to 18.0.1025.152 on Win 7, and can’t figure out why I couldn’t make it work again. Every time I want to download anything, it keeps showing the Error dialog Box. Either I didn’t disable SSL error warnings properly or I mistaken something of my device ID. As I already followed the procedure correctly, can’t figure now what I’m doing wrong. Any suggestions?

I have done everything that you said above. I am able to enter my logon information and Device ID (using android ID app) and the little green man appears when I go to an app that I want but when I try and download I get an error that says that says please disable SSL error warnings and check your logon and device ID.

I have checked all of these several times and I cannot see what I am doing wrong. The https on the google play has a strike through it and I have included the –ignore-certificate-errors in the target line of the shortcut.

This is now driving me mad – any advice gratefully received. My Chrome is V18 running on Win 7 Home Premium.

Trouble is Chrome was updated to 18… and this app wasn’t, since then (1.21). And that’s the reason why is not working. Hope redphoenix89 [ at ] yahoo [ dot ] com can fix it soon. I’ve already written him about this issue.

it’s not related to the version of chrome.
I have v17, and the same error.
going to this:https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin
Error=BadAuthenticationClicking on the icon to download give me the same error as other…So it does not work anymoreThxRod

it doesnt work, I was insert Device ID and its email correctly, and I have Disable SSL error warnings. Last tried Im using this app with my last version of my android is work. but why if am I using my new version of my android is doesnt work?

Thanks, it’s very useful for chinese user. In china, gov don’t let people get service form Google. I mean you can browse ( also need some tech method) and checkout, but cannot download it into your phone. With this tool, I can download it. Thanks very much.

This would be great if it worked, but there’s no download button on my address bar for purchased apps.

I’ve set it up on Google Chrome and Chromium. The extension is listed, SSL Warnings are disabled, the device id is there; Options appear to be working.
I’m running Google Chrome 18.0.1025.168 on Ubuntu 11.10 and Chromium 18.0.1025.168 (Developer Build 134367 Linux) on Ubuntu 11.10.

Can’t get the APK Downloader icon on address bar, no errors, SSL is disabled, device id is ok.
All settings as per the tutorial. don’t work.
we are having proxy settings for accessing the inetrnet IS it a problem?

I am not able to download apk file from India on my android 4.0 tablet. I have default settings for t-mobile/USA. The error msg is as follows No webpage was found for the web address: http://r1.bharti-maa1.c.android.clients.google.com/market/GetBinary/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice/40254?expire=1336798848&ipbits=0&ip=0.0.0.0&sparams=expire,ipbits,ip,q:,oc:SnpxbWh5SEU&signature=8E7D0430466369B199878A335058AD071F36DC9B.63D0131D1C5D45253E80E7BC3CCA4D9B8B49F05D&key=am2&st=lc&ir=1#10443435005560927986

Chrome 18.0.1025.168 m, the –ignore-certificate-errors flag does nothing. I am tired of the facist google corporation telling me what is and is not compatible for MY device, I should be allowed to download what I please and find that out myself since everything that said “incompatible” so far if downloaded as an .apk and installed works fine.

i see you are using android-market-api.but android-market-api can’t find some aplications those availabe when they searched from web browser.I can download those aplications using your Apk downloader, but i want to download them using android-market-api.Could you tell me how you did that? thank you.

I’ve downloaded apps in the past but recent attempts always bring up the error message. I’ve checked everything as far as the link extensions are concerned & nothing has changed. Re-entered everything, still get the error message. Re-installed the APK Downloader & installed into Chrome … still get the error message. Has the Google Shop changed their settings to block downloads? I’m after the current Facebook for Android APK that I’ve downloaded in earlier version.

working excellent. I am from Bangladesh, the price of internet pack for cell phone is too high here. I bought an android recently but was worried that i have to go to internet from my mobile phone all the time to download and install apps. now I’m very happy. thank you boss. thank you. I’m not able to express how happy I am.. thank you

Thanks for this app! unfortunately, I must be doing something wrong…I’ve successfully installed APK downloader – the extension properties look correct…I try to download the Device ID app and get the ‘you don’t have any devices’ message return. Must I have an Android device to access Google Play? I have a PC and a Kindle Fire. Yes…I know…I am technologically inept… ;'(

Hi!
I see from previous posts that the problem is general!
I´m unable to download.
It was working fine until about a week ago.
Now I get the SSL certificate error message.
I’ve tried on 2 different computers, and though I ran a step by step installation, I can´t get apk installer to work.
Waiting for help… 🙁

The first time I used chrome and installed APK dowloader with my gmail and Device ID it’s ok.
Now, I Reformatted my hard disk and reinstall chrome and installed APK dowloader with my gmail and Device ID it didn’t work (disalbe ssl everything) How to solve this problem.

I HAVE FIGURE OUT REASON FOR error – Please disable ssl warning
– Check your account information (email and device id )”..it occurs when google play blocks ur device id..as this extension worked for my first android for sometime..after that i changed to device id & email account of my second android phone..it started working again… so u can download only small no. of apps with ur android device id..after that it stops working permanently…

Why it doesn’t work for me? I downloaded the latest Chrome. I copied the above –ignore…. and pasted it in the same position as told above. The Downloader Option came up and allowed me to save my email, password and device ID. But still got the SSL error when I tried to download apps.

Works great on my Aluratek Cinepad…..took a while for me to find the “DeviceID” app, almost every link took me to Google Play(wouldn’t have needed to do this if I could use Google Play, LOL), but finally found it, once I got my ID, all was golden! thanks!

If you’ve not used it for a while, try going to extension settings, logging out and logging in again. Works for me.
Don’t forget to copy device id so you can paste it in again! Saves having to find it again

Thanks a lot for this, I tryed yesterday, and finally succeeded in getting this app in japanese refused because of country limitation 🙂
BUT, to make it work, I had to use my real gmail.com address instead of the JID found in *#*#8255#*#*. Do you have an explanation ?

everything seems right until I hit the icon on the bar when i was trying to download apps. the download page always pops out and says “cannot download this app” no matter whether or not the app is capable for my device. heeeeeeelp please~~

This worked absolutely flawlessly for me. This may be against the ToS of Goolge but I have a situation for which I have no alternative. There are may be 2 or 3 applications which are very heavy in resources and unfortunately require to be installed in the phone memory. If I were to do this I run out of memory and slows down my phone. These I need VERY infrequently but desperately when I do. These don’t require any kind or registration or login. Installing these from the Google Play site as and when I need them and uninstallling them after every use is not convenient. So I simply plan to store the APK files on my memory card and work from there. This way I have my applications AND keep my memory free !

Thanks for the effort, but need to allow to download MY paid apps.
I had a Desired HD and now a Galaxy Note, I manage to buy few apps with the Desired HD id but I can’t use it in my note, which is bullshit because 99% chances it would work fine.

It’s just like a bad DRM and you are not helping by removing the feature in your extension.

Well first of all i don’t have words for this EXT. coz i wroked more than 5 hrs. for it to work……..it’s not easy to make it work even though one follow all your instructions thoroughly.At last it worked. Thanx a lot mate keep it up.Hope you will be doing a great job in future…

hi. i tried to download it and a popup asked me to log in with my goole mail,password and android device ID (with 16 symbols). what is this ID, and where to find it ? thank you for your help. jean lepetit, [email protected], galaxy ace 5830. sincerely

ERROR:
– Please disable SSL error warnings
-check your account information (email and device ID)
because it is giving this error now when trying to download some application on Google Play? I did all the correct procedures and downloaded several applications since the 25th of June, but now it is giving more appears the error I quoted above. I am Brazilian, I speak Portuguese. Help me please.

it works perfectly until few days ago, I can’t download APKs anymore.
Chrome gave me SSL warning everytime I tried to download APK.
could it be because chrome new update? My Chrome version is 20.Thanks.

Google play says my phone is incompatible with some applications and doesn’t allow me to download them, and I know my phone can run all these apps. This extension was the solution, it works like a charm!

It working fine for me with portable SRWare Iron v18.0.1050.0 (Build 130000 Windows) a chrome engine browser, without any changes like:”-ignore-certificate-errors”. I just install plugin, enter data in his options, and that’s it. Working ok. Thanks for this plug

How do I disable SSL error warnings on a Mac OS? I see the code: /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome –remote-debugging-port=9222
But where or how do I put this code? Appreciate the help! The app works great but now having to do this disabling really is annoying.

about”ERROR :- please disable ssl warning”
that’s confused me a long time ago, I used thought this won’t work any more
but finally I figured out，just update your google play account secure optionThis is a chinese version, step by stephope its usefulhttp://qing.weibo.com/1864781067/6f264d0b33000htf.html

it only works if you have a device that supports que app you`re trying to download, i have a Kyros Tablet, and its have a processor and a GPU better than an ipad 1, but some apps doenst run on it, not because of the processing power, but because some one on google proibited me to use some apps =D, so i can run amazing 3D games, but google play thinks that my device is not compatible…. apk downloader doenst help me!

For all that have the error of the SSL and account info, go to the Chrome extension and look for the APK and then Options, remove your account info and complete the info again. That fixed for me. Good luck!

Used Apk Downloader successfully several times in the last month. Now it has stopped working. I get a “Cannot dowload this app” message. Have checked all parameters. Have tried logging in and out. Nothing seems to help. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix.

I’m using version 20.0.1132.47 m and I am able to download simpletext just like the example shows, just fine. I am not able to download Google Wallet. I looks like it is going to work and then I get an error dialog box that has “The page at codekiem.com says:” as the title and “ERROR: Cannot download this app!” as the message. I can’t download this on my Galaxy Nexus because VZW has it blocked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It appears to have stopped working recently. Even after reloading – logging out and back in. I says “you cannot download this app” even when they are free and I have downloaded them before (updating). Any thoughts?

Hi! i cant install APK Downloader 1.2.1 When I click on the link to download APK downloader, download a file with extension. crx and dont let me install. Can someone please tell me to do? I have chrome 20

Seems to be a security change in Chrome 21. Can´t directly load the extension, only via “Tools”; “Extensions”. Seems to work then, but can´t download any apk file. Always get the error “ERROR: Can´t download this app!”
Any chance to get it working with the new Chrome version(s)? Or does anybody have an older version (19.x) of Chrome on stock? Can´t find one on the net for download…

hi all,i want to know how to get this apk downloader extension in ur browser,i downloaded it but when i open it then this line appears that extensions are to be addd from store.what to do now,coz my wifi isnt working,help plz

when i pack the extenstion under setting-> extention after clicking on developer mode, I clicked on pack extension it will take two inputs one is crx file and another is private key, now problem is that how to get Private key??? and showing “manifest is missing”????

I think it’s risky kind of job, To give you my device ID and my account password.
So … The sites like http://www.AppsApk.com works for me, because they don’t ask anything and give me everything 🙂
Anyhow thanks alot for the extension.

“Can it download apps that not available in my country or not compatible with my device?
– The answer is yes, because it uses T-Mobile operator code.”

Whenever I tried to download APKs for the apps which were not compatible with my device, I encountered an error message, “ERROR: Cannot download this app!” unlike the above explanation.(refer to the attached file) Any solution for this? In fact, the previous version of APK downloader worked without problem in this regard.

Cannot install on Chrome 22 at all.
Also, on previous version, I cannot download apps not compatible with my device which render the app completely worthless. It used to work earlier.
Great app gone shitty.

I have DL this and it works great THANKS. I want to know how I would be able to identifier the URL once the download starts. Is it possible to get this info such that you can keep so instead of DL immediatley I can come back later time to DL the app.bu use of the url
